Thursday, Mark spoke with Earl Johnson, a 911 World Trade Center survivor.

That’s an amazing story! Earl has written a book about his experience called Stairwell to Heaven.

As Mark reads a statement by our Vice President Richard Cheney, he puts the war and politics in context. What are the ramifications of NOT winning this war?

Consider what could happen if the Stalinist Left regains control of The House and The Senate.

The President has comitted to the job of eliminating the enemy despite those who thought it was a good idea at first but have since changed their minds.

Wednesday, Mark spoke with a caller who disagreed with Mark’s use of the term, Islamo-Nazi.

These Libs just can’t call the enemy what they are!

Then Mark had another caller who invented his own name for the Islamo-Nazis.

Oh yah, that was a good one! LOL! Not!

Trent, from the website ProudConservative.com, attended the Freedom Concert and collected autographs on a t-shirt that he’s now auctioning off to benefit the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. Click on the photo for more info.

Wednesday, Mark read from a post on National Review Online by Cliff May.

From an interview with Pierre Rehov, a French documentary maker whose newest film, Suicide Killers, is based on interviews that he conducted with the families of suicide bombers and would-be bombers.

That was a very revealing interview and sounds like Suicide Killers is an amazing documentary!

Tuesday, Mark spoke with a caller, Margaret in New York, who is passionate about rebuilding the Twin Towers.

Mark was up against a break, but gave her the time available to state her case. I think she has a valid point!

Margaret didn’t have a chance to mention this on the air, but she is involved with an organization called The Twin Towers Alliance.

The Twin Towers Alliance will be holding a rally at the Central Park Bandshell at 4PM on Sunday, September 10th.

Tuesday, Mark spoke with a caller from Florida that has been recording Mark’s show and sending audio clips to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan!

What a great thing to do! I hope this patriot finds us here! Maybe he can post some of his audio clips here!

Tuesday, Mark opened his show by telling us why he sticks to discussion about the war.

As always, Mark is right! There are many other issues, but none more important than the Global War on Terror!

A Sham of an Investigation
By Mark R Levin

The more I think about this Fitzgerald investigation, the more astonished I become. Richard Armitage was Bob Novak’s “source” — i.e., he identified Valerie Plame — which, incidentally, is clearly not a crime and Armitage has not been charged with any offense. And prosecutors knew Armitage was the “source” almost immediately after beginning their investigation because Armitage confessed. Indeed, when he thought he may have done something wrong, he appears to have cried on many shoulders. Armitage told his boss, Colin Powell, that he was the source, as well as other State Department and Justice Department officials. He told the Special Counsel’s people. And not one of them — Armitage, Powell, Patrick Fitzgerald, et al. — had the guts or integrity to tell the public that the original source was Armitage. Why were they protecting him from public scrutiny? By their silence, Armitage and Powell allowed two innocent men, Lewis Libby and Karl Rove, to be smeared as speculation about them being Novak’s original source ran rampant. Liberal commentators and politicians had a blast. The truth be damned.

Monday, Mark discussed the media’s coverage of Hurricane Katrina and rescue efforts calling it, “the biggest story ever missed.”

Knew It
By Mark R Levin

Richard Armitage was Bob Novak’s source, which underscores what I wrote here several months ago.

Both the Justice Department and Patrick Fitzgerald knew early on that Lewis Libby was not Bob Novak’s source, but the case was pursued anyway. This investigation should have been stopped by some responsible official along the line, and a long time ago.

Silly Season
By Mark R Levin

Some people just don’t get it and never will. They think they’re clever and witty, but they’re not. They’re silly.

We should close GITMO because, well, not everyone there is guilty and, besides, Europe would approve? Gee, we’ve never heard these lame arguments before. I suppose this is an argument for closing domestic prisons too, since many among their populations (and their lawyers) insist on their innocence and mistreatment and, well, many in Europe might approve.

“…The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon…is officially neutral. Yet, throughout the recent war, it posted on its website for all to see precise information about the movements of Israeli Defense Forces soldiers and the nature of their weaponry and materiel, even specifying the placement of IDF safety structures within hours of their construction. New information was sometimes only 30 minutes old when it was posted, and never more than 24 hours old… Meanwhile, UNIFIL posted not a single item of specific intelligence regarding Hezbollah forces.
…
“On October 7, 2000, three IDF soldiers were kidnapped by Hezbollah just yards from a UNIFIL shelter and dragged across the border into Lebanon, where they disappeared. The U.N. was thought to have videotaped the incident or its immediate aftermath… For months the Israeli government pleaded with the U.N. to turn over any videotape that might shed light on the location and condition of its missing men. And for nine months the U.N. stonewalled, insisting first that no such tape existed, then that just one tape existed, and eventually conceding that there were two more tapes. During those nine months, clips from the videotapes were shown on Syrian and Lebanese television.”

Violence in Baghdad Down 41 Percent, Says Coalition Colonel
25 August 2006
Progress shows Iraqi government’s commitment to improving citizens’ daily lives

By David McKeeby
Washington File Staff Writer

Washington – The past two weeks have seen a 41 percent decline in violent attacks across Baghdad, Iraq, according to a top coalition officer supporting Iraqi forces.

U.S. Army Colonel Robert Scurlock, appearing via videoconference from Baghdad as part of an August 25 Pentagon press briefing, said that “Operation Together Forward,” the Iraqi-planned and led effort to step up security in the capital, is making progress and shows that “the government of Iraq is committed to the fight against terrorists, and is committed to bringing a better way of life to all Iraqis.”

Scurlock commands the 3,500-strong Combat Team of the Army’s 1^st Armored Division, which is partnered with 5,000 personnel from Iraqi army and police units who are working to bring peace to the communities of western Baghdad. More than 1.3 million Iraqis live in the combat team’s 300-square-kilometer area of operations, which spans from the farmlands of Abu Ghraib, along the Tigris River, and into some of the capital’s toughest neighborhoods.

Here We Go Again
By Mark R Levin

“We have a Jewish problem.” Here. How sick is this going to get? The Islamo-Nazis attack us on 9/11 and kill nearly 3,000 Americans, they’ve taken their crusade to all corners of the earth and against people of all faiths and races, and this nut blames the Jews. First there is “a Jewish problem” and then, I suppose, comes the “solution.” What a dangerous fool.

Here’s an interesting article from World Net Daily.

ACLU probes trooper who nabbed 14 illegals Charge ‘racial profiling,’ insist he had no right to ask for ID

The American Civil Liberties Union is investigating a Rhode Island state trooper who apprehended 14 illegal immigrants during a traffic stop, charging “racial profiling” and insisting the officer had no right to ask for ID.

The Rhode Island affiliate of the ACLU filed the case after the driver and several passengers alleged Trooper Thomas Chabot overstepped his authority during the July 11 traffic stop by taking immigration enforcement into his own hands, the Providence Journal reported.

However, asking for identification during traffic stops is a department procedure, and when the passengers could not provide valid ID, Chabot contacted officials with the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division.

Tuesday, Mark opened his program by discussing today’s concern about casualties in Iraq. Mark gave us another great history lesson about the casualties our nation has suffered in past wars.

Mark puts this war in context. There is no comparison! All casualties are horrible, but if we could survive our past wars, we can survive this one! This war is every bit as important as our past wars. We must survive this war as well!

A ‘must read’ by Thomas Sowell:

Do we understand that the world will never be the same after hate-filled fanatics gain the ability to wipe whole American cities off the face of the earth? Do we still imagine that they can be bought off, as Israel was urged to buy them off with “land for peace” — a peace that has proved to be wholly illusory?
…
The terrorists need not start out by wiping our cities off the map. Chances are they would first want to force us to humiliate ourselves in whatever ways their sadistic imaginations could conceive, out of fear of their nuclear weapons.

After we, or our children and grandchildren, find ourselves living at the mercy of people with no mercy, what will future generations think of us, that we let this happen because we wanted to placate “world opinion” by not acting “unilaterally”?

Doctrinal Issues
By Mark R Levin

I think it is now clear that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons and no one will stop it.

The U.S. response to Hezbollah, an arm of the Iranian military, demonstrates a lack of will to confront militarily Iran. The U.S. has now bought into the elusion — urged by the U.N., Europe, and domestic liberals — that diplomacy will somehow contain the Iranian regime. This is a fundamental and fatal shift by the administration. For all the talk in support of the Bush Doctrine and preemption, the administration has effectively rejected them. And the Democracy Project is not possible if the will to first destroy the enemy is not backed up by military action intended to defeat the enemy.

A person who has a familiar voice calls in to comment on a story that Hannity just read on his program. The subject of the story, a judge, was just sentenced to four years in prison.

Perhaps this Judge will have a whole chapter written for him in Mark’s next book entitled, “Men in Black Tights.”

The Wall Street Journal’s suggestion that “Perhaps the plaintiffs should have sued the New York Times” misses the mark. What Judge Anna Diggs Taylor means by her ruling is: baseless fears brought to her court by uninjured parties against defendants she philosophically disagrees with will find standing in her court. If she was a baseball umpire her philosophy might be, “I call them as I see them and when I don’t see them, I make them up.”

The only party the National Security Agency’s surveillance program actually intends to injure is the enemy. That sounds like a mighty fine program to me.

If some ACLU lawyer is talking on the phone to someone who is planning to kill us and the line goes dead because the terrorist at the other end suddenly goes dead, the lawyer ought to send the NSA a thank you card.

Thursday, Mark spoke about the recent comments made by former President Carter in the German magazine Der Spiegel.

I didn’t really want to listen to an old Carter speech, but it does remind us what disgraceful president he was!

Abu Nasser, commander of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in Nablus, encouraged by war results. “Our brothers demonstrated what we have felt in recent years: Israel falling apart. Next time Iran will be in picture with missiles on Tel Aviv and it will be easier.”

D-Day veteran and Hall of Fame Yankee catcher Yogi Berra might describe what Abu Nasser said this way, “He means that it is only a cease-fire until he gets more missiles and starts shooting at Israel’s civilians again.”

Thursday, Mark spoke about the judge’s ruling today that stuck down the NSA terrorist intercept program.

As Mark says, “These liberals cannot get their way at the ballot box and they take over through the media; the courts; these elitists through the un-elected branch of government, their dangerous and they’re going to kill us!”

Judge Not
By Mark R Levin

Are there no limits to which activist judges won’t go to advance their political and policy agendas? Answer: No. I wrote an entire book about it. And U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, appointed in the twilight of the Carter administration, is the latest in a long list of disgraceful lawyers who abuse their power.

I’d bet my house that our good buddy F.Lee will be taking this ruling to task in just a few hours. But for now, check out the reaction over at Daily Chaos(Kos). One of their bloggers McJoke(Joan) had this to say..

One by one, Judge Diggs Taylor takes on each of the administration’s specious arguments that the Bush administration forwarded to support its unconstitutional behavior and demolishes them.

I want to ask liberals, how this will make us safer? I listen to them squawk about how we are less safe now then before September 11th. It seems like their goal is to make terrorist’s activities safer!

I look forward to hearing F. Lee take apart Judge Taylor’s moronic ruling……

Fascism and Muslim Terrorists
By Mark R Levin

On NRO’s homepage, there is a symposium on the appropriateness of the phrase “Islamo-fascism” to describe our enemy. The fact is that Osama bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Bashar al-Assad, Saddam Hussein, and the late Yassir Arafat all embrace the Third Reich. See here and here. And there are many other historical sources should anyone bother to look.

The term “Islamo-fascist” actually understates what we’re dealing with. Yet, groups like CAIR are offended when the enemy is described with this phrase, pretending it’s a smear of all Muslims. Perhaps it is they who are having difficulty discerning the good from the bad.

First Things First
By Mark R Levin

Some have said that the terms of the ceasefire are good for Israel and the U.S. I am truly amazed at such a statement. The “terms” are meaningless because they will not be honored by Hezbollah, Syria, or Iran — none of whom are signatories to the “terms.” The U.N. Security Council signed on; the Lebanese government signed on; Israel signed on; but the enemy has not signed on. So, this is more absurd than Neville Chamberlain’s agreement with Adolph Hitler as Hitler actually went through the formality of signing an agreement (worthless as it was). But the enemy doesn’t even make the pretense of any intention of complying with this ceasefire. They are under no obligation to adhere to the terms of the U.N. deal.

I am also a great fan of Norman Podhoretz, who attempts a strong defense of the Bush Doctrine. The problem is that the Bush Doctrine has changed. At its inception, the doctrine stood for the proposition that the U.S. would use force preemptively if necessary to destroy terrorists and those who harbor them. It later evolved into something different — a Democracy Project. I’m not opposed to a democracy project. But the enemy must be defeated before democratic governments can be established and function effectively. Lebanon is not a democracy. It’s in a state of anarchy. The government has no control over its institutions (including the military) and much of its territory. And regrettably, the same situation exists in parts of Iraq.

The Bush Doctrine, as originally articulated, is sound policy. We should follow it. And that means eliminating the regimes that underwrite, arm, and empower much of the terrorism in the world, i.e., Iran and Syria.

ABOUT THE MOVIE: OBSESSION
Radical Islam’s War Against the West

From the creators of Relentless, comes a new film that will challenge the way you look at the world.

Almost 70 years ago, Europe found itself at war with one of the most sinister figures in modern history: Adolf Hitler. When the last bullet of World War II was fired, over 50 million people were dead, and countless countries were both physically and economically devastated. Hitler’s bloody struggle sought to forge the world anew, in the crucible of Nazi values. How could such a disaster occur? How could the West have overlooked the evil staring it in the face, for so long, before standing forcefully against it?

Today, we find ourselves confronted by a new enemy, also engaged in a violent struggle to transform our world. As we sleep in the comfort of our homes, a new evil rises against us. A new menace is threatening, with all the means at its disposal, to bow Western Civilization under the yoke of its values. That enemy is Radical Islam.

Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an ‘insider’s view’ of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader, the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real.

A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned.

President Carter stood by as radical Islamists took over Iran. During the two decades since he left office dealing with terrorism was primarily a criminal investigation and that policy failed. America was repeatedly attacked before 9/11. The regimes in Syria, Iran, and Iraq harbored and supported terrorists and, if truth were told, often directed those attacks. Hezbollah was formed in 1982, has been financed from its inception by Iran, and murdered 241 US service members when it bombed the Marine Barracks in Beirut, in 1983. Iran supplied the 12,000 missiles Hezbollah positioned in southern Lebanon, 3,300 of which it fired on Israel’s civilian population. Hezbollah receives upwards of 100 million dollars a year from Iran and uses that blood money to further their shared goal of wiping Israel off the map and Jews off the face of the earth. Yet former President Carter still has the unmitigated gall to say things like this in an interview:

SPIEGEL: You also mentioned the hatred for the United States throughout the Arab world which has ensued as a result of the invasion of Iraq. Given this circumstance, does it come as any surprise that Washington’s call for democracy in the Middle East has been discredited?

Carter: No, as a matter of fact, the concerns I exposed have gotten even worse now with the United States supporting and encouraging Israel in its unjustified attack on Lebanon.

SPIEGEL: But wasn’t Israel the first to get attacked?

Carter: I don’t think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that’s justified, no.

Wednesday, Mark opened his show by playing some recently released 911 calls before reading the following article.

The Arab/Muslim Nazi Connection

The bloated fantasy now featured in New York Magazine is a particularly pungent example of using 9/11 to launch ad hominem attacks for personal and political gain. While premising his hit-piece, John Heilemann writes:

“As a way of marking the fifth anniversary of 9/11, we’ve attempted to provide an answer—or, rather, many answers. But we’ve done so in a roundabout manner: by asking an assortment of big thinkers and public figures to address the question, What if 9/11 never happened? …
…
“…As Andrew Sullivan suggests in his alternative-present blog, America should perhaps consider itself lucky that 9/11 took place when it did (thus giving the country an early warning of the battle ahead) and that it wasn’t worse.”

Ask the family members of the 3,000 if we feel lucky, Mr. Heilemann, and if we appreciate you pimping a magazine with a wholesale political hit-piece to mark the day they were murdered.

Still Propagandizing
By Mark R Levin

The enemy’s propaganda machine is running at full speed today. See this editorial in the New York Times.

So, while a couple of dozen al-Qaeda-related terrorists are caught plotting mass murder in the skies over the Atlantic, and a couple of men of Middle East background are buying up throw-away cell phones in our country by the hundreds, the New York Times is still campaigning to destroy our intelligence gathering capabilities by attacking Guantanamo Bay and our ability to interrogate the enemy there.

And notice , not a single word from the Times about this.

The editors and reporters at the Times have no second thoughts about their actions in disclosing our national secrets, such as the NSA intercept program and financial-tracking program, despite Britain’s use of both tools to stop the latest attempt at mass murder. They have no intention of reconsidering their views about GITMO despite evidence that the MPs have been extremely professional in carrying out their duties even though the enemy assaults them repeatedly (the Times not only failed to uncover the grotesque acts of the detainees, but has censored the information as well).

What photo and video did the mainstream media not show you usually distorts the truth far more often than the altered photo we have recently been reading about. For instance, the NY Times’ report today about the protest in San Francisco showed peaceful looking folks with a caption that reads, “Others rallied Saturday, including a San Francisco face-off over Israel.” The San Francisco Gate provided a more detailed look at the protesters yet even they did not capture the true nature of many pro-Hezbollah or anti-Semetic folks like the guy below.

No War Will
By Mark R Levin

An outstanding description of a disastrous deal by the Jerusalem Post’s Caroline Glick:

Here’s an excerpt:

… [T]he resolution places responsibility for determining compliance in the hands of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Annan has distinguished himself as a man capable only of condemning Israel for its acts of self-defense while ignoring the fact that in attacking Israel, its enemies are guilty of war crimes. By empowering Annan to evaluate compliance, the resolution all but ensures that Hizbullah will not be forced to disarm and that Israel will be forced to give up the right to defend itself.

The resolution makes absolutely no mention of either Syria or Iran, without whose support Hizbullah could neither exist nor wage an illegal war against Israel. In so ignoring Hizbullah’s sponsors, it ignores the regional aspect of the current war and sends the message to these two states that they may continue to equip terrorist armies in Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority and Iraq with the latest weaponry without paying a price for their aggression.

The resolution presents Hizbullah with a clear diplomatic victory by placing their erroneous claim of Lebanese sovereignty over the Shaba Farms, or Mount Dov - a vast area on the Golan Heights that separates the Syrian Golan from the Upper Galilee and is disputed between Israel and Syria - on the negotiating table. In doing so, the resolution rewards Hizbullah’s aggression by giving international legitimacy to its demand for territorial aggrandizement via acts of aggression, in contravention of the laws of nations. …

… Aside from the resolution’s egregious language, the very fact that the US has sponsored a resolution that leaves Hizbullah intact as a fighting force constitutes a devastating blow to the national security of both Israel and the US …

An enormous opportunity to land a major blow against the enemy has been squandered at a significant cost. I can hardly believe how quickly the administration reversed course, and how Israel’s PM would respond so aggressively (and correctly) to the kidnapping and killing of Israeli soldiers only to hold the IDF back and settle for this phony deal. We simply cannot win this war if we don’t have the will to destroy the terrorists and the regimes that support them.

FoxNews reported:

U.S. counterterrorism officials stressed that there was no reason for Americans to believe plotters or others connected with the terror scenario were in the country. Still, the FBI has so far assigned an estimated 200 investigators to track down potential links.

Why keep 200 investigators running down leads if there is no connection? Here is why:

Two other U.S. counterterrorism officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation, said the British suspects placed calls to several cities in the United States before their arrests. At least some of the calls were placed to people in New York, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, one official said. The suspects are all British citizens, mostly men in the 20s and 30s of Pakistani descent.

Yet do not expect the New York Times to report the surveillance of calls between the United States and foreign countries assisted Scotland Yard’s disruption of the latest terrorist plot. Nearly sixty hours have passed since Time Magazine first reported that and, so far, not once have they mentioned it.

Author’s note: Some might mistakenly think I’m happy that someone leaked to the press that the US intercepted communications. My point here is to point out that US officials are prematurely saying no one here was involved in the plot, two major media sources (Time and FoxNews) say the US intercepted communications into the US from those involved in the plot, and the NY Times is intentionally not reporting the latter. The blood in the mouths of the NY Times’ editors must be getting deep as they bite their tongues and refrain from reporting another incident of “illegal domestic surveillance.” It is obvious the program helped save thousands of lives and the Times does not want to report that.

The president’s remarks about Islamic fascism were critical, and so should be demands on the “moderate” Islamic community to disassociate itself from this war on the West. But instead we hear mostly charges of “Islamophobia,” never honesty about the profiles of those who wish to destroy an airplane, a skyscraper, or Jews in civic centers and airports. One example: Last week the state-run Palestinian newspaper ran racist cartoons of the American secretary of State; not a single American-Muslim organization voiced outrage at this, much less the Middle East daily fare of Jews as apes and pigs. So to conclude of only the latest effort of savages to murder thousands: Westerners in general are seeing that their civilization will not continue if hourly radical Muslims are trying to destroy it with liquid explosives, or germs, or other various sorts of terror — and at some point they are going to ask of everyone, to paraphrase the president, “Are you with us or with the terrorists?” It’s that simple, no more equivocating, no more “Of course — BUT.… “ We need no more multicultural gibberish — just a simple question, “Is the West worth preserving from its 7th-century enemies or not?” — Victor Davis Hanson

CAIR: Islamists Fooling the Establishment

by Daniel Pipes and Sharon Chadha

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), headquartered in Washington, is perhaps the best-known and most controversial Muslim organization in North America. CAIR presents itself as an advocate for Muslims’ civil rights and the spokesman for American Muslims. “We are similar to a Muslim NAACP,” says its communications director, Ibrahim Hooper.[1] Its official mission—”to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding”[2]—suggests nothing problematic.

The Freedom Alliance is a 501(c)3 educational and charitable organization founded by USMC Lieutenant Colonel (ret) Oliver North. It has raised over 7 million dollars since its inception in 1990. A primary mission of the foundation is to provide scholarships for the children of service members who are killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty, or currently classified as POW or MIA. The recipients to date include sons and daughters of those killed (or POW/MIA) during the Vietnam War, the 2000 attack upon the USS Cole, the 9/11 attack upon the Pentagon, and during the Greater War on Terror. We will work to “keep America strong, keep America prosperous, and keep America free,” said North upon the founding of Freedom Alliance.

Wednesday, Mark discussed Joe Lieberman’s primary loss and challenged those in the kook fringe Left.

Wouldn’t that be great if the all the Democrats that supported the war were defeated by their own party? LOL!

Lieberman and the War
By Mark R Levin

The “experts,” i.e., anyone on TV, tell us that the Lieberman-Lamont race was about one issue and one issue only — the war. Well, then, since 48 percent of the Democrats voted for Lieberman, I guess 48 percent support the war. The national Democrats better hope that’s not the case — Connecticut being a blue state — or their dreams of electoral victory in November and beyond will be just that … dreams.

Little Neddy & His Leftist Amigos
By Mark R Levin

The know-nothing, empty-suit, blue-blood Ned Lamont is now the Democrat party’s poster boy. He’s sort of a John Kerry, but without the Purple Hearts (and he actually inherited most of his fortune from his own family).

Lamont follows in the great tradition of his uncle, Corliss Lamont, who was a courageous pacifist during the rise of the Nazis, just as Little Neddy has been heroic in his adamant appeasement of the Islamo-Nazis.

And it was impossible to miss some of the Jew-baiters standing behind Little Neddy at the podium last night as he celebrated his landslide (4 percent) victory over a prominent senator of Jewish heritage, e.g., Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson and Al “Interloper” Sharpton.

There’s something very French about the modern Democrat party … or is that Vichy French? It’s the party of Jim Moran; John Dingel; the late, great Cynthia McKinney; Robert Byrd (”the Conscience of the Senate”); former elder statesmen Fritz Hollings; and, of course, Joe Kennedy Sr. The party of Harry Truman — strong on defense and the first to recognize Israel — is dead. It’s now the party of Henry Wallace. Blue-bloods have replaced blue-collars. And Lamonts have replaced Liebermans.

Republicans should be ecstatic. The Democrat presidential field was already running left. Now it will run at sprint-speed. The 2008 presidential election is shaping up to be a 1972 rerun. Even Hillary Clinton, former counsel to the Black Panthers, doesn’t measure up. “Oh, the times, they are a changin ….”

Davis Doesn’t Fly
By Mark R Levin

I’m intrigued by the bizarre attention so many conservative websites and bloggers are paying to Lanny Davis’s silly op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal. See here.

Here’s an excerpt from the Davis piece:

My brief and unhappy experience with the hate and vitriol of bloggers on the liberal side of the aisle comes from the last several months I spent campaigning for a longtime friend, Joe Lieberman.

This kind of scary hatred, my dad used to tell me, comes only from the right wing—in his day from people such as the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, with his tirades against “communists and their fellow travelers.” The word “McCarthyism” became a red flag for liberals, signifying the far right’s fascistic tactics of labeling anyone a “communist” or “socialist” who favored an active federal government to help the middle class and the poor, and to level the playing field.

I came to believe that we liberals couldn’t possibly be so intolerant and hateful, because our ideology was famous for ACLU-type commitments to free speech, dissent and, especially, tolerance for those who differed with us. And in recent years—with the deadly combination of sanctimony and vitriol displayed by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Michael Savage—I held on to the view that the left was inherently more tolerant and less hateful than the right.

Now, in the closing days of the Lieberman primary campaign, I have reluctantly concluded that I was wrong. The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony.

Davis smears conservatives generally as intolerant and hateful, using his false characterization as a basis to compare loathsome attacks by liberal bloggers against his friend, Joe Lieberman. He slimes Rush and Ann (Savage, of course, is loathsome) with bloggers who write such things as this:

“Ned Lamont and his supporters need to [g]et real busy. Ned needs to beat Lieberman to a pulp in the debate and define what it means to be an AMerican who is NOT beholden to the Israeli Lobby” (by “rim,” posted on Huffington Post, July 6, 2006).

As an aside, no one has been more steadfast and thoughtful in his support of Israel than Rush (indeed, no one has been more intelligent in their exposition of conservatism than Rush). Moreover, George Bush — the Republican president Lanny Davis and his liberal ilk undermine on a daily basis — has been spectacular in his defense of Israel, unlike so many Davis’s fellow Democrats. And while Davis correctly condemns the poison flowing from his own side, this is a serious problem for the Left, not the Right. Our nuts are on the fringes; his nuts run the DNC, their PACs, and their think-tanks.

Davis was a mouthpiece for one of the most corrupt president’s in history. More to the point, Bill Clinton and his wife were specialists at using slurs and personal attacks against their opponents (including numerous women). Davis defended all of it.

We are nothing like the Left.

For all those having trouble logging onto LGF to read the latest photo fudge and double-fudges by Reuters photographers, the Great One led off his show speaking with Charles Johnson and discussed how the original story broke.

In addition, they spoke about the Reuters photos of the lady in Lebanon whose house was totally destroyed twice in 15 days by Israeli air strikes and another Lebanese lady who Reuters photographed and reported as having lost two husbands in 17 days. Mark also asked him about the recent threats Johnson received from a Reuters employee.

8/09/2006 CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: When I described the report (on Power Line) of Rueters photographing and reporting twice, 17 days apart, the same woman lost a husband the night before, perhaps I misread what was on Power Line or they have since made a correction there. Their report now indicates that, 17 days apart, Reuter reported the woman claimed her house was destroed by Israeli air strikes the night before. — Tim Sumner

I found this over at RightWingNews.

Right Wing News emailed more than 225 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their “Least Favorite People On The Right.”

The Media Propagandists
By Mark R Levin

Kudos to Little Green Footballs and The Shape of Days, and others.

Dan Rather/CBS’s use of phony documents to lie about the president’s National Guard service; false reporting throughout the Katrina disaster in hopes of embarrassing the president; the New York Times/Washington Post publishing of national security secrets for, in part, the purpose of preventing the interrogation and monitoring of the enemy; Reuters’s doctoring of war photos to undermine our ally, Israel, as it seeks to defend itself against the enemy, etc.

And you know there must be much more of this kind of irresponsible, unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest reporting going on.

We’ve now reached the point where the radical left that runs the Democrat party, that is populating the media in this country, that teaches our children in colleges and universities; the radical hate america left, has actually persuaded almost a majority if not a majority of the american people that it’s wrong to be fighting the enemy in Iraq, and that the Israelis are wrong to be defending their own country, and that all we need to do is come home and everything will be well. There’s something terribly terribly wrong out there!

I attended the San Diego Freedom Concert on Wednesday. As he did in New Jersey a week earlier, Mark fired up the crowd again with another fiery speech!

Hezbollah, Fighting for Its Life
By Mark R Levin

I believe this is a far more accurate portrayal of Hezbollah’s condition than most other analyses.

As the great Ronald Reagan once said, “There they go again!”

Mark talks about his appearance on Hannity & Colmes last night!

An astute caller gives us a little military history

…Mark Levin, was on Hannity & Colmes last night:

“…the Great One…faced off the dynamic duo, Alan Colmes and loveable liberal Bill Beckel. Surprisingly, Levin and Beckel agreed on Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah. However, Alan Colmes attempted to champion Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter as ‘engaged’ in the conflict and George Bush as ‘disengaged’. Well, let’s just say Colmes got schooled…READ MORE .”

(hat tip: ExposetheLeft.com)

“Please remember this when you hear about the “atrocity” of the Israeli bomb that killed many civilians in Kafr Qana, a place from which Hezbollah has fired hundreds of rockets at Israel. Unlike previous administrations, Mr. Olmert has my respect when he says: “They were warned to leave. It is the responsibility of Hezbollah for firing rockets amid civilians.”

“Terrorists and their supporters have lost the right to complain about civilian casualties, since all they have is one goal: this entire war is to target civilians. Every single one of the more than 2,500 rockets launched into Israel, is launched into populated towns filled with women and children.”
……
“In perhaps the most blatant terror campaign from the air since the London Blitz, Hezbollah is raining rockets on Israeli cities and villages. These rockets are packed with ball bearings that can penetrate automobiles and shred human flesh. They are meant to kill and maim. And they do.”

Just kidding Sean! The Dynamic Duo discuss the story that the MSM seems to have overlooked. The blatant abuse of our military forces at Guantanamo Bay. And we’re not talking about women’s underwear here!

Sean also lets Mark take a whack at one of his dopey liberal callers!

Mark pops in on Sean in his headphones and throws him off his game!

Don’t the fine members of our U.S. Military deserve the presumption of innocence?

After all of the documentary evidence that we’ve seen over the last few days of how these terrorists hide behind the skirts of women, and use dead children as a propaganda tool, I have an even better understanding of how this incident may have taken place!

Flashback to May 3, 2006. Here is commentary from The Great One concerning this issue.

Hannity gave us some background on Haditha June 15, 2006

A caller to the show who viewed scene photographs is certain that spent shell casings are from AK-47’s which are used by the enemy. Not from weapons used by U.S. Troops.

Here are some of the detestable comments that were made by “Tokyo Rose” Congressman Jack Murtha, set to music.

Marine Names Murtha in Defamation Suit
Congressman Discussed Killings Involving Serviceman’s Squad in Haditha, Iraq

By Josh White
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, August 2, 2006; A05

A Marine Corps staff sergeant who led the squad accused of killing two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, will file a lawsuit today in federal court in Washington claiming that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) defamed him when the congressman made public comments about the incident earlier this year. (more…)

Seems like their priorities are a bit out of whack! And a little history on Cuba with its detestable leaders.

We’ve completely misunderstood the islamo-nazis! Why are they on the offensive? Jimmy “Peanut Head” Carter has it all figured out.

A caller from Paramus NJ questions “the number of people that Bush is killing.” He quickly finds out that he called the wrong radio show to spew on!

Mark gives us a Castro update, and fills us in on the latest foolishness from our “Roman Senate.”

The Canadians have done well to elect this new government. The Foreign Affairs Minister has described the Islamo-nazis as they should be.

Mark has an Air America moment!!

Mark gives a caller some history about the Jewish people, where they are from, and why this whole conflict is not over a land dispute.

The Palestinians are shooting each other! And a caller has a question about the application of the “renegotiated” Geneva Conventions on the enemy.

Palestine never existed as a country; it was a region. With the exception of Egypt, all the countries of the Middle East are artificial creations. After World War I, England and France carved up the Ottoman Empire, with England retaining what are now Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel and Iraq, and France being in possession of what are now Syria and Lebanon.

In 1917, the Balfour Declaration, proclaimed by the British mandatory power, established all of Palestine — east and west of the Jordan River — as the reconstituted homeland for the Jewish people. This was ratified by the 52 countries of the League of Nations.

Therefore, folks, we can expose the myths for what they are. Because, as Hugh Fitzgerald of JihadWatch writes, “…the entire West, the entire Infidel world, are in the same boat with Israel, and this is no time for that boat to become a ship of fools.”

Kudos to those at the Ankle Biting Pundits website, seems that they’ve caught Salon.com propagandizing for the terrorists!

This Salon article is one of the most pro-Hezbollah, anti-Israel, anti-American, anti-Bush pieces of garbage I’ve ever seen! Just another disgusting example of which side the left are supporting in the war against terrorism. But what else would you expect from Salon.com.

Smuggled Photos Blow Up Salon.com’s “Hezbollah Avoids Civilians” Myth
by Bomb Truck @ 8:03 pm. Filed under Politics

Last week Salon.com’s Mitch Prothero posted an article that attempted to refute the notion that Hezbollah uses its civilian population as shields against Israeli air and ground assaults. Prothero claimed that because Hezbollah doesn’t trust the Lebanese populace it operates among, that they “almost always” avoid staging in civilian areas that Israel routinely bombs, and he also claimed that “other journalists” have found the same to be true. Whatever Prothero’s motivations for writing this were, his assertion was litteraly blown up today in Australia’s Herald Sun. A reporter in Beruit managed to smuggle out photos of Hezbollah artillery pieces hidden among Christian civilian neighborhoods in this article: (more…)

Syria as Helper
By Mark R Levin

Many commentators have been highly critical of Israel’s war strategy against Hezbollah. I’m not so sure they’re right. Anyway, here’s an interesting article that’s on point.
